[Core Network] Service Alert 5th January 2016 - Update 1
Posted by David Croft on 05 January 2016 05:51 AM
This is an incident notification regarding a temperature event at site
CLBIS02 (Interxion LON1).

Date: Tuesday, 5th January 2016
Start time: 03:35 GMT
End time: 05:25 GMT

Services affected:

Services hosted at or terminating in site CLBIS02 (Interxion LON1).

Report:

Comtec NOC observed cooling failure at site CLBIS02 at 03:35 and the
temperature rose steadily until 05:25 at which time cooling was
restored.

A decision was made to shut down equipment to prevent damage, however
as the temperature then began to fall, this step was not taken.

Temperature and humidity are beginning to stabilise but are still well
outside operating tolerances and so we will continue to monitor the
situation closely. We are also awaiting an incident report from
Interxion.

One VM server shut down automatically due to temperature violation;
this server was used for community and mirror services and no customer
services were impacted.

Comtec NOC is tracking this issue under ticket [#GJK-875-91806].

Regards,

David Croft

Report:

Comtec NOC observed cooling failure at site CLBIS02 at 03:35 and the
temperature has been rising steadily since. At this time we have no
information from Interxion on the cause of the failure or estimated
time to repair, therefore we regrettably have taken the decision to
shut down this site to prevent equipment damage until temperature and
humidity begin to normalise.

Services hosted in CLBIS02 (Interxion LON1) will be affected, along
with Cloud Ethernet circuits single-homed to this site. Resilient
connections will fail over to other sites automatically.
